Antifreeze / Coolant for heavy-duty diesel cooling systems

The Bedrock antifreeze / coolant family has one product, Bedrock Red 50/50 pre-diluted heavy-duty antifreeze / coolant.

It arrives already mixed with water at the 50/50 ratio and goes from the drum or tote into the radiator with no measuring at the shop. In the cooling system it moves heat from the engine to the radiator, protects against freezing and boil-over, and protects the metals in the system against rust and corrosion.

It is made for the shops that fill and top off many cooling systems: fleet shops, truck repair shops and equipment yards serving over-the-road and vocational fleets, construction and farm operations, and oilfield service companies along the Gulf Coast and beyond. The 55-gallon drum fits a shop with a drum pump. The 275-gallon tote fits a fleet shop with a dispensing system. The Product Data Sheet and Safety Data Sheet are available on request.

How to choose

  • One grade, already mixed: choose Bedrock Red 50/50 when you want a heavy-duty coolant that goes in straight from the package with no water added at the shop.
  • Drum or tote: the 55-gallon drum of Bedrock Red 50/50 suits a repair shop or small fleet with a drum pump; the 275-gallon tote suits a fleet shop that dispenses coolant at the service bay.
  • Check the specification: compare the engine maker's coolant requirement with the specifications listed on the Product Data Sheet for Bedrock Red 50/50, available on request.
  • Changing over: when a system holds a different or unknown coolant, drain and flush it before filling with Bedrock Red 50/50; top off a system only with the coolant already in it.
  • Same delivery: fleets that take coolant by the drum or tote can take Bedrock 15W-40 and 10W-30 heavy-duty engine oils in the same package sizes.

What it does on the job

Moves heat to the radiator

From the cylinder heads, liners and EGR cooler of a loaded diesel.

Covers both ends of the year

Freeze protection in winter, boil-over protection in slow, hot, loaded work.

Protects the metals in the system

Iron, aluminum, copper, brass and solder in the radiator, block and water pump.

Goes in as it comes

Pre-diluted 50/50, so every fill carries the same protection and no tap water goes into the system.
